Members connected over experiencing shaky hands, exploring whether the tremors stem from fibromyalgia, spinal issues, nerve damage, medication side effects, or conditions like essential tremors. Several members shared practical concerns like struggling with handwriting, dropping things constantly, and one dental professional described the challenge of working with patients during shaky episodes, while others mentioned that fatigue and muscle weakness seem to worsen the tremors. A recurring theme was the frustration of juggling multiple health issues simultaneously, the complex process of getting proper scans and referrals, and finding humor and solidarity in shared struggles like TENS machine addiction and brain fog.

It could be fibro and sugar levels dropping also cause shaking. Do you get anxiety with the shaking? Generally feeling crap or is it just the hands? And if just the hands is there anything you do before this starts chick 😘😘😘❤️

I think it’s from the fibromyalgia. It’s like our muscles get weak in our arms and then we get shaky in our hands. The worst for me is when I’m trying to give someone some anesthetic in their mouth and I’m having a shaky episode. Luckily it doesn’t happen all of the time. My poor patients…it’s not cool.

I’ve had shaky hands for years…it gets especially bad when I’m really tired. At first I thought it was something called essential tremors, as both my dad and sister had it. But now I’m wondering if it’s due to fibro. I have a friend where I live that is 10 years younger and her hands shake as well…hmmm???

It's a bloody nightmare eh chook! You sound the same as me. All my bones are screwed. Not literally as I wouldn't let them. The spinal surgeon should be the best bet to find out what's going on. Make sure he does M.R.I's before trying to operate on you.
They love that scalpel... It could very well be nerve damage.
I always say I get on my own nerves as it's true. I lay down trap a nerve. Stand up trap a nerve. Apparently sex and alcohol are the best thing for pain.
It would be funny is they wrote scripts for that. Went around the back and got a hot guy carrying a bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti
I'd actually feel it was worth going to the doctor 😂😘😘😘❤️
